Next Generation Sequencing and Analysis of the Transcriptomes of Wild-type and Alkbh5-/- Neutrophils

ABSTRACT: By performing transcriptome-wide RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis on the peritoneal neutrophils from Alkbh5-deficient mice (Alkbh5-/-) and Wild-type littermates (Alkbh5+/+) at 12h or 36h after mild cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), respectively, we want to identify potential targets of ALKBH5 and characterize the transcriptional landscape in neutrophils during antibacterial innate defense. Gene Ontology biological processes enrichment analysis of the significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed that neutrophil migration made up the most significantly enriched biological processes with annotations of neutrophil association upon loss of ALKBH5 in neutrophils, at both 12h and 36h after CLP. Many significantly DEGs also encompassed transcriptional signatures related to neutrophils, specifically to neutrophil influx into the infection site, including chemotaxis, response to chemokine, extravasation, ERK1 and ERK2 cascade, homeostasis of neutrophils. ALKBH5 deletion led to significantly decreased transcript expression of neutrophil migration-promoting Cxcr2 and Nlrp12; while increased transcript expression of neutrophil migration-suppressive Ptger4, Tnc, and Wnk1. These results demonstrated that ALKBH5 imprints migration-promoting transcriptional landscape in neutrophils to enable their migration into the site of infection for antibacterial innate defense.

Project description:Neutrophil accumulation in crypt abscesses is a pathological hallmark of ulcerative colitis. Based on recent evidence that mucosal metabolic changes influence disease outcomes, we hypothesized that transmigrating neutrophils influence the transcriptional profile of intestinal epithelia. Microarray studies revealed a cohort of hypoxia-responsive genes regulated by neutrophil-epithelial crosstalk. Real-time O2 sensing indicated that transmigrating neutrophils rapidly deplete microenvironmental O2 sufficient enough to stabilize intestinal epithelial cell hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Utilizing HIF reporter mice in a TNBS colitis model, we investigated the relative contribution of neutrophils and the respiratory burst to M-bM-^@M-^\inflammatory hypoxiaM-bM-^@M-^] in vivo. Gp91phox-null mice, which mirror human chronic granulomatous disease, developed accentuated colitis compared to control with exaggerated neutrophil infiltration and diminished inflammatory hypoxia. In conclusion, transcriptional imprinting of host tissue by infiltrating neutrophils modulates the host response to inflammation. Likewise, the respiratory burst contributes fundamentally to localized O2 depletion, resultant microenvironmental hypoxia and effective inflammatory resolution. Two models were employed, direct and indirect. The M-bM-^@M-^\DirectM-bM-^@M-^] migration model entailed establishing a chemotactic gradient (using fMLP) across monolayers of T84 intestinal epithelial cells grown on the underside of permeable supports (3um pore). Neutrophils (PMN) were induced to migrate in the physiologically relevant the physiologically relevant basolateral-to-apical direction. Following migration, T84s were rested in complete media and 2hrs later harvested for RNA isolation. In the Indirect model, PMN were applied to T84s as with the direct model. After migration, conditioned supernatants were collected, cells pelleted and supernatants filtered through 0.2um pore. Conditioned supernatants were transferred to naive T84 monolayers for 2hrs, followed by RNA harvest. Each model was exposed to neutrophils (PMN) or not. All monolayers contained chemotactic peptide fMLP on the apical side. Total of 12 samples, 4 conditions in triplicate: Direct migration without neutrophils (T84 +fMLP -PMN), Direct migration with neutrophils (T84 +fMLP +PMN), Indirect migration without neutrophils (T84 +fMLP -PMN), Indirect migration with neutrophils (T84 +fMLP +PMN)

Project description:[Background] TNFa-induced adipose-related protein (TIARP) is a six-transmembrane protein that is expressed on macrophages, neutrophils and synoviocytes. We have recently reported that TIARP deficient mice (TIARP-/-) spontaneously developed arthritis, and had the high susceptibility to collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) with enhanced interleukin (IL)-6 production. However, the effect of TIARP to neutrophils and fibroblast-like syonoviocytes (FLS) has not been clearly elucidated. [Methods] We analyzed the roles of TIARP in K/BxN serum transfer model using TIARP-/- mice. We characterized the differences of neutrophils between WT and TIARP-/- mice by DNA microarray. Transmigration assays of TIARP-/- neutrophils were performed in vitro and in vivo. FLS were cultured with TNF? and the production of CXCL2 (a specific ligand of CXCR1 and CXCR2) and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. Moreover, TIARP-/- mice transferred with K/BxN serum were treated with anti-IL-6R antibodies. [Results] Arthritis in TIARP-/- mice transferred with K/BxN serum was significantly exacerbated. We identified overexpression of CXCR1 and CXCR2 in TIARP-/- neutrophils by DNA microarray. Neutrophils from TIARP-/- mice showed strong migration activity. The enhancement of chomotactic activity of TIARP-/- neutrophil was greatly facilitated by CXCL2 in vitro and in vivo. In addition, TIARP-/-FLS has enhanced the production of CXCL2 and IL-6 and the cell proliferation in the presence of TNFa, and the blockade of IL-6R significantly attenuated arthritis in vivo. [Conclusion] Our findings indicate that TIARP might down-regulate the production of CXCL2 and IL-6 in FLS, and the expression of chemokine receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2) in neutrophils, resulting in the protective ability of neutrophils migration into arthritic joints. Mice were treated with thiogycollate medium intraperitoneally. After 3 days, peritoneal macrophages were isolated from three WT or TIARP-deficient mice, and these cells were stimulated by TNF? for 24 hours. Ly6G+ Neutrophils were isolated from splenocytes by MACS.
